What does "Jesus minatly" (mi-nat-ly) mean?

Question

I know who "Jesus" is.... my (deceased or I'd ask him) grandfather, from Italy and a Catholic family, would say this phrase as others would say "Jesus Christ" when exclaiming. Never heard anybody else say it, no idea how to spell "minatly".... nothing on internet searches, but since I can't spell it how can I search for it?

Pronounced "mi-nat-lee". He did often mispronouce English, and kinda did the Yogi Beara thing a bit (would say "close the light" and called the kitchen sink the "zinc". No idea if this is some Italian or German phrase or some other phrase he picked up elsewhere....

Answer 1

i believe he was doing an Italian pronunciation of an English word, Try asking some of his old friends.
